Connected Speech - Australian Version 3
Ages
10 to Adult  WIN
CD
 Connected
Speech Australian Version is an interactive multimedia program designed
for ESL / EFL learners who want to improve the effectiveness of their
spoken communication in Australian-English.
There is a growing recognition of the need for explicit pronunciation
teaching for English language learners and Connected Speech, Australian
Version 3 is the answer.
Three Levels of English
Connected Speech includes three levels of English language from
lower intermediate to advanced English, on the one CD.
This is the Australian-English version and is suitable for all
ESL students and schools in Australia and Asia Pacific.
There are also Northern American or British English versions of Connected
Speech. If you require information on these, please contact
us.
Speaking and Being Understood
Connected Speech changes your intonation so your speech sounds much
more natural to an English speaker.
This program focuses on the 'song' of English - how we link words,
word and sentence stress, how and where we change pitch and how and
where we pause. If you can do that, you will sound more natural and
much easier to understand. Not only will your words be understood, so
will your meaning.
How is Connected Speech different from other Pronunciation
Resources?
-
It is based on the natural, informal and unscripted speech
that English language learners are exposed to in everyday life.
-
Learners are provided with clear, context-specific visual and
auditory feedback on their spoken production. This is unlike
most other pronunciation programs where the onus for interpretation
is placed on the learner.
-
It provides a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning the
essential skills required for the ESL learner to clearly and effectively
express themselves and to more easily comprehend spoken English.
-
And
finally, for the first time learners see how the theoretical aspects
of pronunciation are applied to natural spoken language.
